Do you speak Winglish?
by Mark Kleiman
To make sense of the contemporary political speeches and punditry, it has become necessary to understand Winglish.
Winglish: The language spoken by the wing-nuts now running the country and by their journalistic supporters. For example:
A "patriot"
is someone who salutes the flag and despises the Constitution.
Ownership society :
A civilization where 1% of the population controls 90% of the wealth. 2. A political system in which all power is in the hands of the owners.
Honesty:
Lies told in simple declarative sentences
(e.g., "Freedom is on the march.").
For some time now, a cooperative process has been producing a Winglish-English Dictionary.
Below is some samples:
Aid and comfort for the enemy:
displaying the Constitutionally-guaranteed right to free speech.
Bankruptcy:
A means of escaping debt available to corporations but not to poor people.
Burning bush: The President of the United States after being asked an un-planted question.
Cheney, Dick:The greater of two evils.
Class warfare: Any attempt by the poor, the middle class, or even the well-off to resist the depredations of the very rich. (Ex.: Progressive taxation, unionization, consumer protection, the minimum wage.)
Clear Skies: More air pollution.
Compassionate conservatism:
Poignant concern for the very wealthy.
Conspiracy theorist:
Someone with a mind so sick and so twisted as to be capable of believing the truth about the Bush Administration and the Republican leadership in Congress.
Creation science: Belief that George W. Bush's resemblance to a chimpanzee is totally coincidental.
Disloyal: Unfavorable to Republicans. (See also "treason.")
Extraordinary rendition: Outsourcing torture.
Faith:
The belief that the Beatitudes include "Blessed are the rich" and "Blessed are the war makers."
Free markets :
Halliburton no-bid contracts at taxpayer expense.
Girly-men: Males who neglect opportunities to grope unwilling women.
God: a super being sort of like Dick Cheney without the heart condition who will ratify whatever nonsense you need him to. God is actually silent on the matter, choosing to communicate with a select few.
Growth:
The justification for tax cuts for the rich.
Healthy forest:
"No tree left behind."
Honesty:
Lies told in simple declarative sentences (e.g., "Freedom is on the march.").
Laziness: When the poor are not working.
Leisure time: When the wealthy are not working.
Liberal:
Someone who actually tries to help others..
Nine-eleven (9-11):
Emergency number to call when your poll numbers have fallen and you can't get up.
Ownership society:
A civilization where 1% of the population controls 90% of the wealth. 2. A political system in which all power is in the hands of the owners.
Patriot:
A person who salutes the flag and despises the Constitution.
Patriot Act: Pre-emptive strike on American freedoms to prevent the terrorists from destroying them first.
Privatization: Corruption.
Policy options:
Cutting taxes on the rich, subsidizing big corporations, and going to war.
Religion: Christianity.
Religious freedom : Our freedom to impose our religion on heathens, idolaters, infidels, and atheists.
Republican: Monarchist.
Simplify the tax code:
Cut the taxes of Republican donors.
Sound science: Whatever sounds like science and is favorable to Republicans.
Staying the course:
Continuing to perform the same mistakes, and expecting different results (Syn: "insanity").
Torture: Infliction of intolerable pain on someone we don't hate.
Treason: Criticism of George W. Bush.
Unpatriotic: 1. Consistent with the Constitution. 2. Unfavorable to Republicans.
Voter fraud: Significant minority turnout.
Welfare : Laziness-inducing and budget-busting government handouts to the non-wealthy.
Woman:
Person who can be trusted to raise a child but can't be trusted to decide whether or not she wishes to have a child in the first place.

My favorite one is:
Honesty:
Lies told in simple declarative sentences
(e.g., "Freedom is on the march.").
What do you think ?
How good is your Winglish?
Do you have a favorite one(s)?
Thank you,
Fred D

Shaunee,
and John,
thank you.
Good show!
That one is my favorite.
Faith: The belief that the Beatitudes include "Blessed are the rich" and "Blessed are the war makers."
I'll do my part by upping it to a 10+ keep up the good work.
This qualifies, too.
My favorite is "Family Values"..meaning...Let's stone the homosexuals, feminists and gay parents..*smirk*
Diane, Cheryl, Larry, Luckky, Ron, Karla, Sonia, Jill, Donald, Cynthia, Glen, Marilyn, Bert, Sandy, , Kristina, Goddess Nancy, Dame Ruth, and finally Marsha Thank you very much for coming by and commenting. So glad you liked the article.
I'm surprised that 22 out of 22 who commented did like it.
What happened to all the Girly-men?
Also, the article has been nominated for a non-existing "Article Of The Year Award" by Luckky! Thanks Luckky, I second that motion!
Cynthia, don't worry dear, look the rating has gone up from 7.5 to 9 , I hope you're happier now! OK?
Someone who actually tries to help others" with Winglish.
Someone with a mind so sick and so twisted as to be capable of believing the truth about the Bush Administration and the Republican leadership in Congress."
I shall wear that badge with honor.
Enjoy it! Thanks.
Don, thanks for visiting.
Your ignorance of the facts is surpassed only by your obvious lack of education and grasp of the English language. A lot like the Current Occupant...you should run for office.
Please, just read your own post once again.
To me you sound like "all talk,all anger,all the time" yourself!
Does that mean that you have a disease and the:
"main syptom [symptom] is an overwhelming urge to stick your Head in the Sand"? Anger is just an emotion, it signals unhappiness. Anger by itself doesn't make a person necessarily a bad person.
There are about 40 items and phrases in this article.
Is there ONE that is NOT true? Can you argue that one? Of course, as you said, without "all anger all the time".
Thanks for joining in the discussion.
Nice job Fred!

Good job Glen,
thanks.

President Holds Press Conference
The White House Website
"W": Just listen, no questions!
The 9/11 Event was orchestrated by US to frighten and rob the people,... and it worked perfectly!
Sad thing is, so much of it is true....(have you met my family yet?)
Thank you!
Try this one:
Democratic Election: the process by which rich people choose a president
Thank you.
If you think the 9-11 Event was to scare you, wait til our next show. You all will be running for the border like rats on a sinking ship!

A Haliburton, Jewish-Loving-Neo-con Board Member of the Industrial-Military Complex and Lifetime member of the Tri-Lateral Commision.
Lotsa luck losers. We have it ALL! You don't! Never will. LOL!!!
You gotta learn to play the game and know whose ass is worth kissing and who to pray to.
Hint: It's NOT Carter. It's not Kerry. It's not Gore. Its not Clinton. It's not Pelosi or Hillary (though sweet asses- ha, ha!). None of you will get out with a thing. We nearly have it ALL. Are you scared yet?
We loved marching you into the the Hangers to gas you and laughed with glee! God, it was a bitch getting those bombs to go off on time at the towers. You have no idea. Barely made it out. I will tell you now, it was Gore that wanted it done. He was still pissed. Hoped he could show those bastards in Fl. Guess he did, somehow in his pudding head. Must be the High heat of the global thing fried his brain. (OH, OH just a few degrees a year, brillent. How long can YOU tread water)?!
It will be a joy to see your All-Loving, All Knowing, All Powerful Soros-god broke and desolate and living with the rest of you in the desert of our choice. We know who let our secret out. Do you miss them? Poof, gone.
The rest of you better just sit down, buckle up, and hang-on. I PROMISE you will love the ride we have planned for your mass of putrid wannabes. Power is good. You are bad. We STILL have time to let you squirm and twist in the wind. Just one degree at a time.
Look at your self-rightous faces. When you see the end slowly coming, who will YOU be talking to? Your Grandma? Your higher intellect? Your dog or some Holy Cow? A moon-god Allah? A litttle, fat dead Budda doll?
GOD?! Praying for your sorry soul?
NO such luck chumps. We OWN Heaven to, and you don't get in. Look for the sign, "BUILT BY HALIBURTON".
You get nirvana. That's NOTHINGNESS in LIberalSpeak.
Bye bye. For now. Stupid little people.
I forgot one: The Constitution; toilet paper.
You stupid little people thought you could ursurp the Constiution with your appointments of Liberal judges. HA HA!
You forgot a basic fact. The Judicial Branch is the weakest link since it has no budgetory or military authority!
We KNOW where the POWER is pee-ons. BEWARE!
Liberal Judges:
1) flyspecks on the windshield of the NEO CONS' Ferrari. 2) Grains of sand in the treads of my tank.
3) Entry level clerks at Haliburton HQ.
RIP. Here's to horseheads in your beds.
You are so very angry.
Is it because W and Co have totally betrayed you and your country for power and money?
You may want to learn more about W and stay informed about the facts by watching a new movie, coming soon in October 06:
From Freedom to Fascism!
I wish there was a "Moderates" party.....
In the next two years, a W dictatorship can take over, forever!
Thanks Michael.

W is for W and Co only!
He lies constantly and has absolutely no credibility at all for people who like honesty!
Thank you.
for coming by!
The true definition of Liberal as defined in a dictionary is:
Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.
Of course different people make up their own emotional associations with the word Liberal, but that doesn't change the true definition of the word.
Thanks,
